Thanks for all your efforts in putting this very nice site together and making the downloads available. Seeing that you are no longer able to support 10.6 I have reluctantly upgraded to 10.7 in order to access the GRASS 7 beta1 package.

The install seems to be working but then fails with an 'installation failed' message. The console shows that first there seems to be some problem with the installer conflicting with the app store - I have the preferences set to accept software from 'anywhere'. Then it moves on and seems to hang on an apache server action. This creates a recurring problem that has been running every 10 seconds since last night …

Finally fixed the problem. Seems the current version of apache does not require mod_hfs_apple and it is not present. So when httpd.conf calls for it, it hangs and gets into the 10 second do-loop. Solution was to open http.conf and comment out line 115 so the request is no longer made.

That being solved the next problem was an out of date GDAL and a numpy that GRASS couldn't find. With both those issues addressed - thanks Kyng - It's up and running. (OSX 10.7.5) Thanks again for putting this package together.

The installer works fine and GRASS 7 beta starts OK. However there's a problem with FreeType that prevents any displays (d.rast) - says it's looking for v. 17.0.0 and only has 16.0.0. Not sure how to deal with that - the docs with the FreeType installer show it to be Kynge's 2012 2.4.10-1 version. The latest at the FeeType website is 2.5.3 - so I don't know what GRASS is really looking for.
